An electronic platform that enables citizens to submit e-petitions has been set up on the subsite of the Assembly of the Capital City and will become active as soon as the new convocation of the City Parliament is constituted, it was announced from the Capital City.
It is stated that in accordance with the regulations, citizens will be able to send petitions to the Assembly of the Capital City regarding issues within its jurisdiction, i.e. in cases of violation of the right to local self-government and if the Capital City does not ensure the protection of minority rights and freedoms.
"I believe that the electronic platform for submitting e-petitions will significantly contribute to the greater involvement of citizens in decision-making at the local level, and thus to the improvement of democracy in our city. One of the key goals of my work in this mandate of the Capital City Assembly was to increase transparency in work, so this is another step in that direction. The realization of this project would not have been possible without the donation of the company 'M-tel', to which I would like to thank for a great example of socially responsible business", said the President of the Capital City Assembly in her current convocation Borovinić Bojović, on whose initiative this platform was launched.
As stated in the announcement, the Assembly of the Capital City will be obliged to submit an answer to the petitioners within the legal deadline if it is a question within its jurisdiction.
The Capital City noted that the Assembly of the Capital City is responsible for passing acts that regulate the area of local self-government in accordance with the law, and that all individual issues that citizens face when it comes to communal activities (communal order, water supply, traffic infrastructure , housing and others), social services, culture and sports - the competence of the executive power, i.e. its secretariats, services and administrations, as well as the companies and institutions of which it is the founder.
